Chicopee girls swimming beats Palmer 119-64

Colleen Humel won the 50 freestyle in 25.34 seconds, breaking the previous school record of 25.46 set by Kate Grise in 2000, as Chicopee defeated Palmer 119-64. Humel also won the 100 backstroke.

Natalie Obando and Natalia Kaczor also won two events each for host Chicopee in its Constitution League opener.

Emma Demaio teamed with Obando, Kaczor and Humel to win the 400 freestyle relay in 4:09.64, as Chicopee qualified for the Division I state meet in that event for the first time in "many years," as its coach said.
